Popular French influencer claims Kylian Mbappe has launched a “legal complaint” for naming one of his kebabs after the Paris Saint-Germain star.
According to RMC Sport, Mohamed Henni, who owns a kebab shop and supports PSG’s rivals Marseille, has received a letter from Mbappe’s lawyer, Delphine Verheyden, and has been given a week to rename the takeaway dish to avoid legal trouble. Now the influencer has vented his fury at this turn of events.
The influencer shared the letter on social media, which reads: “Mr. Henni uses Kylian Mbappe’s name for commercial and promotional ends, without having obtaining explicit prior consent.”

In response, a “stunned” Henni wrote: “A player of this level has the time to think about me. He [Mbappe] is using his time and money to attack me. I am not hurting anyone, I am a humourist. Are you not embarrassed? Launching a legal complaint for absolutely nothing?”
While the report adds on the menu the item is described as, ‘Bakery bread, as round as Mbappe’s head’, Henni points out the French World Cup winner is not the only player mocked at his restaurant. There is a savoury pancake, ‘As loaded as [Dimitri] Payet’, dedicated to the former Marseille and West Ham star; with Henni claiming the veteran midfielder has not complained about this. He added: “He [Payet] is a player with values, Mbappe has completely lost it.”
It remains to be seen what will happen over the next week in regards to whether or not Henni will change the name of the Mbappe kebab. Despite the bizarre dispute, the 25-year-old forward will be fully focused on his duties at PSG, who are due back in action in a French Cup quarter-final tie against Nice on Wednesday.
